Never to early to think about Indy and AHFS

If the 128 car field is made of class winners that have to run as quick or quicker than the Index, and fill the remaining spots filled with the fastest qualifiers the AHFS should work a little better.

What’s your thoughts?

Well, I for one, stopped going to Indy when they stopped automatically letting Class Winners in.

If NHRA went back to class winners would you enter the race?

If I had my ducks-in-a-row and was physically able, sure.

You would have to do away with the combo class eliminations.

Why? If you're the only car in your class, you go into the combo. You win the combo, you're in.

*I've changed my mind, see later post!

Nah...If I were King, I'd make it ....Single wins, .5 under, and you're in. (just like the National Records)
It would make things far more interesting to watch, IMO

Looks like NHRA reversed the recent changes to AHFS

To me a class winner is a single car that ran the index. It’s not the racers fault he is the only one.
